NASA’s new rocket blows the doors off its mobile launch tower
From Ars Technica:
"So far, NASA's ambitious Artemis I mission seems to be going swimmingly. The Orion spacecraft has performed a number of propulsive burns, flying smoothly past the Moon, and will now test out its capabilities in deep space."
https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/11 ... nch-tower/
I don't know about the "deep space" term that the media always likes to use. Compared to all the space out there, this seems to me to be pretty shallow space between the Earth and the Moon.

Re: NASA’s new rocket blows the doors off its mobile launch tower
Given the previous Artemis 1 onboard images, it's odd and frustrating that no images (video or still) seem to be available of the "close flyby" of the Lunar Farside. Did NASA really "forget" to program the video capture from one (or all) of the onboard cameras?? Or did something go wrong with their "perfect" flyby??
Or has my Google-foo failed me??
